Gone With A Wind- review
For my movie review I picked, in my opinion, the most sentimental portrait of the Civil War- "Gone With The Wind", directed by Victor Fleming and produced by David O. Selznick. Victor Fleming was born on February 23, 1883 in Pasadena, CA. He'd been a racecar driver and in later years was a well-known motorcyclist and airplane pilot. He got into the film industry by accident. First he was an assistant cameraman for director Allan Dwan and by 1915 became a director of photography. He worked under D. W. Griffith's supervision as for Dwen on several films with Douglas Fairbanks. He made his feature debut as a co-director on Fairbanks' movie "When the clouds roll by"(1920). His first solo project was " The Mollycoddle"(1921). He worked at Paramount and went to MGM in 1932. Fleming was a really skilled at film for young audiences, for example "Treasure Island"(1934), "Captains Courageous"(1937) or "The Wizard of Oz". He was also a favorite director of actor Clark Gable, and having guided him in "Red Dust"(1932) and "Test Pilot"(1938) was brought in to take over the directory of "Gone With The Wind"(1939), which earned Victor a Best Director Oscar. He was one of MGM's most reliable directors, and his most notable films of
After the war, during the Reconstruction period, Northerners dominated state governments by governments in the South. However, the second important idea is a slanted but passionate view of the Old South. The values of the movie are signaled by the printed narration that opens the film: "There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South. While wealthy owners were enjoying their lives at different parties, black slaves were whipped and murdered, slave women were sexually abused, and families were divided. "GWTW" considers the dramatic changes, which take place in the American South between the period of 1861 and 1873. Unfortunately roguish Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) witnessed the whole incident. Blacks were encouraged to vote and some black candidates were elected to public offices and even to the U. It also breaks down the facts taught in Northern schools that New Yorkers were the good guys and the Georgians the rebel terrorists. It is a straightforward story told without any fancy tricks in between. Yankees are still in Georgia, even one of them comes to O'Hara's house. After this idea fails on positive results she meets by accident a friend- Frank Kennedy (Carroll Nye) who's more that pleased with helping the young lady. She meets there Rhett, whom she spends the rest of the evening with.
